Went to the dark side for a year but we are back with a new TC. Bought a used 2009 5vr last September didn't use it much. Then this April bought a 2014 16' Smokercraft boat. Needless to say you can't legally tow behind the 5vr in this state it was time to go back to a TC. Getting the 2014 Arctic Fox set up to tow our boat now.

Welcome back, we went with a TC so we could tow our Alumacraft Trophy 175.

Welcome back to the Forum fuelhauler. Towing a boat is so much easier behind a TC than a 5'er. Glad your back.

Yea this state & Washington are the only two states west of the eastern seaboard that you can't legally tow behind a 5vr. And I'm retired 38 yrs. driving truck from everything from doubles to triples & truck & trailer hauling 11K gallons of fuel. This cotton picken state is holding us hostage.

Wow 38'trailer you must feel like your in a mansion after all the years full timing in the tc.

Aye, that triple slide is definitely a treat, though she'd kill my poor pickup if I tried to pull it with her :p.

Got the misses moved in properly with me now ;).

Yup, moved into a new space with a 38' Heartland Bighorn :), campers off the truck in the barn waiting for me to finish lowering it in preparation to remove all the jacks and de-skin the unit for repairs.

I have the current list with restrictions. Oregon, Washington & Hawaii are the only 3 states on the west coast that doesn't allow it. On the eastern seaboard from Maine to Florida except Maryland it is not allowed. There are 32 states that allow it. Do some searching on the net & you can find the list.

Add CA to that list.

It may be against the rules in CA but I see it often. Those I know that do it say they have never been stopped.
